A simple construct for having jquery plugins with state

jquery-plugin-base.js

var WhatEverPlugin = (function ($) {
    'use strict';

    var $plugins;

    // public api
    var api = {
        reset_all: reset_all,
        reset_by_selector: reset_by_selector
    };

    $.fn.what_ever_plugin = what_ever_plugin;

    // may or may be not an auto init plugin - disable at will  
    $(document).ready( init );
    function init() {
        $('#content .filer-gui-multiupload-plugin').filer_multiupload_plugin();
    };

    function what_ever_plugin(custom_options) {
        $plugins = this;
        var i;
        for (i=0; i<$plugins.length; i++) {
            init_plugin($plugins[i], custom_options);
        }
        return this;
    };

    function init_plugin(plugin, custom_options) {
        var $element = $(plugin);
        var default_options = {};
        var options = $.extend(default_options, custom_options);

        var whatever_plugin_state = true;
        var $buttons = $element.find(".button");
        $buttons.click(on_button_click);

        function on_button_click() {
          
        }
        
        function reset() {
          
        }
    };

    // global methods!
    function reset_all() {
        // ...
    };

    function reset_by_selector( selector ) {
        var plugin = $plugins.filter( selector );
        plugin.reset();
    };

    return api;

})( jQuery );
